The Nobel prize in chemistry was given for the visualization of molecules

"Each of these pictures represents a frame and they can be put together into a movie and we can see what the molecules do", said Peter Brzezinski, a member of the Nobel committee for chemistry.

Nobel Committee of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded the prize in chemistry to three scientists - the Swiss Jacques Dubose, American Joachim Frank and Briton Richard Henderson.

Scientific breakthroughs often build upon the successful visualisation of objects invisible to the human eye, but for decades these biochemical maps have had large blank spaces because the available technology has had difficulty generating images of much of life's molecular machinery. Researchers can now freeze biomolecules mid-movement and visualise processes they have never previously seen, which is decisive for both the basic understanding of life's chemistry and for the development of pharmaceuticals.

"Normally, what I'd do if I was in Cambridge, we will have a party around teatime in the lab, but I expect we'll have it tomorrow instead", said Henderson.

Work over Richard's career has helped to advance the technique of electron microscopy, which bombards proteins or other large biological molecules with electrons rather than X-rays, so that the atomic structure of proteins can be determined.

For instance, the academy said the technique was used when scientists began suspecting the Zika virus was causing the epidemic of brain-damaged children in Brazil. But in 1990, Richard Henderson succeeded in using an electron microscope to generate a three-dimensional image of a protein at atomic resolution.
